One Piece: Buggy's Uncharted Legend

Chapter 111: Three Reasons!

His eyelids twitched. Crocodile suddenly remembered the photos in the World Economic Journal of the ruins of the Oba Kingdom's palace.

Thinking of this, Crocodile took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number.

"Moshi moshi, it's me," Crocodile said grimly after the call connected.

"Boss, is something wrong?" A clear, cautious voice sounded.

"Someone wants to see you. It's the people from the Red Nose Pirates," looking at Buggy, Crocodile continued.

"Is it necessary to see them?" the cautious voice came again.

"I think we should meet. I don't think your Boss would object, because I will use a piece of information he's interested in to exchange for the chance to meet you. Information such as, for example, an Ancient Weapon," before Crocodile could reply, Buggy's voice rang out.

"Agree to it!" After hearing Buggy's words, a sharp glint flashed in Crocodile's eyes, and he spoke into the Den Den Mushi.

"Alright, I'll be right out," on the other end of the line, although Nico Robin's tone was quite dejected, her eyes were filled with extreme excitement.

"After you've met with her, we'll talk," looking at Crocodile, who was staring at him after hanging up the phone, Buggy said faintly.

"I'll be waiting!" After speaking, the sand scattered with the wind.

After Crocodile's body had dissipated, in the distance, a tall woman in a purple outfit and wearing sunglasses slowly walked towards the entrance where Buggy and the others were.

"You don't mind coming to my place, do you? I think you'd also prefer a quiet place to talk, right?" Walking up to Buggy, Nico Robin spoke directly.

"Please lead the way!" Nodding, Buggy agreed.

Then, Buggy's group followed Nico Robin to her home in Rainbase—a small two-story villa.

Leaving Paula and the others to rest on the first floor, Buggy followed Nico Robin up to the second-floor balcony with Hancock.

After all three were seated, Nico Robin spoke up: "May I ask, Captain Buggy, can I join the Red Nose Pirates?"

"Hehe, no!" With a faint smile, Buggy refused bluntly, without a hint of hesitation.

Robin, who was refused, hadn't reacted yet, but Hancock at the side showed a look of surprise. Seeing Buggy come straight to Rainbase and insist on seeing this woman, Hancock had thought Buggy wanted to invite her.

"Can you tell me the reason for your refusal? Is it because of Crocodile?" Although Nico Robin was not surprised to be rejected, she was a little unwilling and wanted to know the reason.

"The reason is definitely not because of Crocodile. In fact, after my meeting with you ends, I will tell Crocodile the information he wants to know through you. At that time, your special use to him will be completely meaningless; all that will be left is your own ability. And I have to tell you this, otherwise, you will definitely resent me for screwing you over in the future."

After hearing Buggy's words, Nico Robin already felt that this red-nosed man was screwing her over.

"Let's get back to the main point. Actually, a long time ago, I had to choose between you and Paula. That was more than ten years ago. At that time, compared to Paula, you were actually more outstanding. But why didn't I choose you? One reason was that I had a mission that required my intelligence officer to infiltrate Marine Headquarters as an undercover agent to gather information. Obviously, you were not suitable. The other reason was that at the time, I didn't want to receive special attention from the World Government. A choice was made back then, so naturally, there's even less to say now."

Alright, after hearing these words, Nico Robin felt like she was about to go numb. She had never expected to have been noticed by the now-famous Red-Nosed Buggy ten years ago, but in the end, due to various reasons, she had been unable to get on his ship.

"Then what do you want from me now?" An angry voice uncontrollably burst from Robin's mouth.

"I just wanted to see you. Hmm, if I say it like that, you definitely won't believe me. So I'll tell you that I came to see you because of the third reason I didn't choose you back then," Buggy's expression was as composed as ever.

"The third reason?" Nico Robin repeated, very confused.

"Yes, the third reason. Which is because you are the sole survivor of Ohara. Hmm, the only surviving scholar who can translate the ancient text. In fact, back then, if it weren't for your mother, Nico Olvia, and the others searching for the Poneglyphs with such great fanfare everywhere and being targeted by the World Government, which then deduced from them that all the exploring scholars were from Ohara, the World Government would not have suddenly launched a Buster Call. Of course, I'm not saying this to blame those who have already passed away, but just to say that the Buster Call back then was too sudden. Otherwise, Uncle Rayleigh and the others would have definitely lent you a helping hand," Buggy said with regret.

And it wasn't until she heard Buggy's words that Nico Robin finally understood how the disaster of Ohara had come about back then.

Thinking of the past, Robin's tears couldn't stop flowing. It took a long while before she finally managed to control her emotions.

"Finished crying? Now, continue to listen. Because of your uniqueness, two groups of people have actually been looking for you all these years. The first group is your old acquaintances who have been tracking you, spies from the World Government. The other group is the Revolutionary Army, led by Monkey D. Dragon. That Dragon has always called you the 'Lamp of the Revolution,' and his purpose in finding you is to protect you. And they are the third reason I didn't choose you."

Hearing this, Robin still didn't understand Buggy's meaning, but she did hear a piece of news that surprised her. Someone had actually been looking for her all this time, wanting to protect her.

"About the Revolutionary Army, if you want to find them, you just need to go to Momoiro Island in the Grand Line. Just tell the okamas on the island that you are the person Ivankov has been looking for, plus your name, and I think you'll be able to see the Revolutionary Army very soon," after thinking for a moment, Buggy added this sentence.

"Why are you helping me?" Nico Robin became more and more confused.

"I just want to see your choice," Buggy replied mysteriously.

"My choice? Do I have a choice?" Nico Robin asked in return.

"Of course, you do, but not right now. Back then, Captain Roger conquered the Grand Line and left behind many interesting things. This piece of paper is a rubbing I made from beside a Poneglyph, Captain Roger's own handwriting. You can read the ancient text, right?" After speaking, Buggy handed the paper with the message left by Captain Roger in the ancient text to Nico Robin.
